A New Kid in Town

Well I have returned to the Plaid Cymru held county of Ceredigion to find that there is a new kid in town. 

It's flying off the shelves coming in at a full 10p cheaper than the Cambrian Snooze and I tell you what, there is 'Ysbryd Gwrthrhyfel' amongst its pages with a full four pages of Cymraeg as opposed to the one column every other week in the other one. The above is issue 6 so I have either been sleeping or too wrapped up in election fever to notice this new word on the street. On Page 3 an article that headlines 'Starbucks told to respect the Welsh Language'. Well Starbucks will be a start and then we can move through the rest of the county and across Wales with this novel but obvious message. One other thing I'm delighted about as a freelance Mental Health advocate and campaigner is that there is a full page advertisement describing the support available with helpline contact numbers. 

The Welsh word to describe something substantial is 'swmpus' and the Ceredigion Herald feels just that and let us hope that it heralds a new dawn of objective journalism which this part of the world desperately needs.
